6 If INPUT SELECT switch is set to S VIDEO or VIDEO, select the audio mode. (With a HDV/DV connection, skip step 6, 7, and 8.)

When you select S VIDEO or VIDEO with INPUT SELECT switch, set AUDIO mode by setting [AUDIO MODE] in [AUDIO SET] menu (page 50).

FS32K : Switches the audio mode to 4-channel mode.

FS48K : Switches the audio mode to 2-channel mode.

When recording a tape in DV (SP), you can set AUDIO LOCK mode with [AUDIO LOCK] in [AUDIO SET] menu (page 51).

Note

When signals are input from HDV/DV jack, those signals input to the recorder with the audio mode are the same as the signals input from the unit with the audio mode.

7 Select the recording level adjustment mode using [AUDIO AGC] in [AUDIO SET] menu.

Notes

• You cannot adjust recording level if you record signals input via HDV/DV jack.

•For connecting the unit to a device that does not have an i.LINK jack, the sound is recorded on CH1/2 when the audio mode is set to [FS32K] (4-channel mode).

8 Adjust the audio recording level with [AUDIO REC LV] in [AUDIO SET] menu, if necessary (page 50).

You can adjust [AUDIO REC LV] only when you have selected [OFF] in step 7.

Make sure not to exceed 0 dB at maximum volume, or sound distortion occurs.

Notes

•To record in DVCAM and DV (SP) format, there are two audio modes which you can select, with either 2- channels at FS48K or 4-channels at FS32K. It is not possible to select other modes (for example with 2- channels at FS32K).

•During recording, you cannot change the audio mode.

• If you intend to dub audio after recording, select whether [DVCAM] or [DV SP] of [ REC MODE] in [IN/OUT REC] menu according to the unit you will use for audio dubbing. Then, set [AUDIO MODE] in [AUDIO SET] menu to [FS32K] (4- channel mode) before recording (page 50). (The unit does not have an audio dubbing function.)
